At ten o'clock in the evening on May 15th, the final game of the group stage finally came.
The two sides are LPL champion IG and LCK champion KZ!
After many days of fierce competition, the results of most teams have been settled.
Including IG, they have won nine games in a row. Even if they lose the last game, they can still guarantee the first place in the group.
However, although this game has no impact on IG's ranking, it has a significant impact on KZ's ranking.
Although in the next two days of games, KZ learned from the painful experience and won six games in a row, bringing the record back to 6-3.
However, Flash Wolves performed extremely well in the group stage, only to be double-killed by IG and pulled back by KZ in the later stage, achieving a good record of 7-3.
Therefore, if KZ can beat IG in this game, it will get a chance to play a playoff with Flash Wolves and compete for the second qualifying spot in the group.
In this way, we can take the initiative in the knockout stage.
On the other hand, if KZ loses to IG in this game, it will have a 6-4 record in the later stage and fall into the bottom half of FNC, which currently has a record of 5-5, allowing the first and second players in the group to choose as their opponents.
This is something that has never happened before in the LCK.
Since the inception of MSI, LCK has never qualified as the group's top scorer, let alone been reduced to the point of picking and choosing.
So in today's game, KZ has a reason to win.
Therefore, it also attracted the attention of many people.
As for the two teams, TL and EVS, they withdrew from the competition for qualifying spots early.
...
"Okay audience friends, what we bring to you today is the game between KZ and IG! Everyone knows the situation. KZ must win this game in order to retain the chance to appear second in the group and avoid being picked, so
KZ will definitely win this game at all costs."
In the commentary box, Colonel Guan and I remember were in the warm-up area.
"Of course, IG will never let them pass so easily! What IG has achieved is MSI's unprecedented victory in the group stage! So in this game, we IG also have a reason to win!"
On the other hand, I remember that I firmly sided with IG.
Since its inception, MSI has never had a complete victory in the group stage. Even SKT, which was at its peak back then, was knocked out of one group stage by EDG, and even the final championship was snatched away by EDG.
So today is also a moment for IG to create history!
"That's right! Both players are now ready! Their expressions are solemn, and they obviously attach great importance to this game."
Rita also took over the conversation and said softly.
"Although KZ performed poorly in the first two days of the group stage and lost three games in a row at the beginning, their six consecutive wins also showed that their condition is improving and getting better. So IG still cannot take it lightly."
I remember frowning and analyzing.
After all, KZ is the LCK champion team. After adjusting to its form, it won six consecutive games in one fell swoop, which also showed an excellent form.
Therefore, he was still a little worried in his heart that KZ's adjusted state would cause a lot of trouble for IG.
"That's true, and IG also came to the blue side in this game! Everyone knows about IG on the red side. After getting the counter position, IG's advantage in BP will be more obvious! And IG on the blue side is obviously
They will suffer a little loss! Because without the counter position, they cannot guarantee that they have a lane advantage in every lane, which still has some impact on IG's system."
Rita also echoed softly.
"Okay, both players and coaches are ready, BP has officially begun!"
Seeing the BP screen appear, Colonel Guan brought the topic to a formal level.
"First of all, the IG of the blue side, BP is still the same as the third one, Gem, Luo, Pansen! It seems that IG is going to stay the same in this round to cope with all changes!"
When I saw IG’s first round of appointments, remember to say it softly.
"Then there's KZ on the red side. They took the lead in taking down Sword Girl, Kalista and Ornn in the first round! Why don't they take out Lucian?"
However, after seeing KZ's first round of recruitment, I remember being a little confused.
KZ didn’t deal with Lucian!
Two heroes who are famous for their AD top laners, Lucian is the leader among AD top laners.
In their pre-match predictions, Lucian will definitely become the focus of BP and will not even be released from the office position, especially KZ.
But I didn’t expect that KZ would actually be released by IG.
"Yeah, it's no problem to play Dao girl! In the game between IG and TL, Dao girl swayed up, down, middle and three times, confusing TL, and finally played the shortest game in the history of MSI! Since then, no one dared Let’s release IG’s Sword Girl. But can Lucian really be released?”
The senior colonel on the side also nodded.
Then, as the audience expected, IG Blue locked Lucian instantly on the first floor.
"I just said, if you release Lucian to IG, IG will only thank you!"
Remember to smile happily.
"Let's see how KZ reacts here? Grab Kai'Sa on the first floor? Well, AD version is no problem! Then on the second floor, BDD didn't want to face the broiler head-on, so he chose Galio! Hehe, this hero won't always be good in the lane. Just kill me!"
Seeing KZ's first and second floor options, Colonel Guan couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
You know, on the first competition day, BDD's enchantress was so confident in her choice, and then the broiler Syndra beat BDD's enchantress into disgrace.
This time, the Enchantress Syndra was still outside, but BDD didn't choose anymore, and picked Fatan Galio, a lane-pushing support type.
Although he couldn't guess the player's heart, Colonel Guan felt that BDD might be cowardly.
"But Broiler, don't panic! You don't dare to choose Enchantress, but I dare to choose Syndra! When Syndra fights Galio, Broiler will have this confidence!"
As Syndra was locked on the second floor of IG, I remember getting excited instantly and started bragging crazily about my cock.
In his opinion, Broiler's strength is unique among the mid laners in this MSI, and he kills indiscriminately in almost every game.
Even in the opening game, I played a vampire and got beaten up by the hat king, but when I met FNC for the second time, I created my own sword girl, and I was beaten back by the chicken again!
So everyone thought that the cap king in the first game just took advantage of the hero.
However, just when I remember to brag about the broiler, IG’s third floor choice is also exciting-Dlevin!
"Draven is here! This should be Ah Shui's Draven! Lucian Syndra has chosen it, so this Draven must be Ah Shui's! IG directly locked the three Cs on the first three floors. This situation is rare!”
Rita smiled.
As IG's most famous Draven Jinchuuriki, Ah Shui doesn't get Draven very often. Sometimes IG even gets Draven and doesn't let him play, instead swinging to the top lane.
As a result, many fans and viewers are looking forward to Ah Shui getting Draven to slaughter him.
After all, Draven's fault tolerance rate in the solo line is too low, and it is difficult to create a shocking scene without the cooperation of his teammates.
"IG has locked the three Cs on the first three floors. It is indeed a bit early to show their cards! However, these heroes are considered the ceiling of the lane, so they are not afraid of being targeted! They may be removed by KZ in the second round. I guess IG
I was worried about this, so I just chose to do it first. Anyway, there is no counter position in this round."
Colonel Guan analyzed.
"The third floor of KZ helped Xiaohuatana choose the jungle prince! Then in the second round, he directly started to target the jungler of King Ning! Zac, Qinggangying! The two kings of Ning are extremely proficient in starting a team
The front-row auxiliaries will be removed directly!”
"Judging from the three C's currently exposed by IG, the lineup is very lacking in team initiating and front-row tanks. Generally, this role is played by King Ning, so KZ chose to target IG's jungle position!"
"But fortunately, King Ning still has Pig Girl and Wine Barrel who can take on this responsibility, but the wild area is relatively weak, and the ability to start a group is not as stable as the two who were dealt with!"
"IG's second round targeted KZ's supports, Titan and Braum, with two strong supports in one attack and one defense! IG still wants to open a breakthrough in the bottom lane!"
Seeing the second round of appointments from both parties, Guan Dajun and I remember your words were analyzed one by one.
Starting from the removed heroes, the points that both teams are targeting are obvious.
IG targets support, and KZ targets jungle.
"On the fourth floor, KZ got a Lulu! Since there is no suitable hard support to carry it, then the best soft support is here! IG's front row has Galio and Prince, a combination that can do whatever they want, and they don't rely too much on support.
Let’s start a team! Lulu’s protection of Kai’Sa’s development and team battle output is really good.”
When Rita saw KZ's choice on the fourth floor, although she praised it, she couldn't help but frown.
Lulu's ability to protect AD is very powerful. As long as the opponent doesn't have a fat spot, it's basically impossible for Kai'Sa to be cut to death.
"IG really chose Pig Girl for Prince Ning!"
"For Pig Girl, apart from the factory director, you have to look at King Ning! In addition, Chen Yu's support selection is also very stable. When KZ still holds the Kang special position, Chen Yu directly took a Mogan to improve core fault tolerance.
Na! This way Draven doesn’t have to be afraid of Lulu turning into a sheep when laning."
"Lulu's transformation into a sheep is disgusting. The control time is too long, and it still affects Draven's output."
With IG's five heroes confirmed, everyone's eyes are on the fifth floor of KZ.
The man who left the counter position to the top laner, and deliberately let Lucian get exposed, what will the man use to fight?
When the hero on the fifth floor of KZ was locked, the whole audience was excited!
